"Real Madrid acquired defender Raphael Varane for an undisclosed amount, which could reach around 10 million euros. The French youth national team member signed a six-year contract. Varane made his debut for the main "Lens" team just last year, but immediately emerged as one of the most promising players in the country. He was also being pursued by "Man Utd" and several other clubs. It is likely that the acquisition of Varane will speed up the process of selling "Real" defender Ezequiel Garay. This was the fourth purchase of the Spanish vice-champions this summer. Prior to this, the team was reinforced by Hamit Altintop, Nuri Sahin, and Jose Maria Callejon."
